REVISED: NCUC statement on new gTLDs

[Konstantinos Komaitis]

Thanks Milton for doing this - apologies for not getting back to you but I only got through my masses of emails just now and I was planning to incorporate all the comments and draft the final version of the statement. I hope we have submitted the revised version as you all have made some excellent points. Once again thank you all very much for doing this and I really believe that we have expressed reasonable points of concern.
With appreciation
KK

Concerned about the deadline, I have gone ahead and submitted the comments. Note also that ICANN, in its increasingly over-bureaucratized state, has actually created 5 or 6 different comment forums and it unclear which best fits these comments, so I have submnitted them to two of them.

Dear all,

Attached is my attempt at contributing to our Constituency Statement on the new gTLD policy. Please note the following substantive additions and other changes:

1. Substantive Additions
- I have expanded the section on Morality and Public Order objections with further references to and comments on the Explanatory Memorandum that was issued separately from the Draft Applicant Guidebook.

2. Other Changes
- I have moved a couple of sections around (to hopefully aid the "flow" as more contributions come in) and amended some of the language used. Please note that I do NOT think my language superior; many of the language changes I am suggesting are due to my personal discomfort in using overly-strong or emotive language. I am happy to revert to the stronger emphasis if the majority feel that would better convey the point.

My apologies for this late submission; I have tried to be as comprehensive and useful as I can but I am afraid that with time running short, have perhaps not done as thorough a job as I would have liked.

Thanks,
Mary
